  B-  Abm- Gb  
  E-    B- Gb  
[Verse]
  BI wash my Abmface with soapy Gbwater
  Disguise the tears cause you're somebody's Edaughter
  And they don't Bever wanna see you Gbcry
  BAnxiety's Abmgrip is always waiting to Gbtake me
  It sits in my stomach, I fear it's starting to Eshape me
  It's hard to Blive when you're scared to Gbdie
[Chorus]
  AbmIf I'm gonna sit and wait then I might as Gbwell
  Ask for the hand of the Devil himsEelf
  I thought I heard her lBaugh but it was hard to Gbtell
  AbmSo look into my eyes and see how close I am to Gbcrack
  But they just say hello and never look bEack
  I thought I heard them tBalk but it was hard to cGbatch
[Verse]
  BSupersAbmtition has me out of contGbrol
  Touch my head and bless my sEoul
  I pray it ain't a fBeeling, but my soul is just Gbold
  BCause nothing Abmheals misery's fGbist
  No witch's pill, no lover's Ekiss
  If life is Beasy then what is tGbhis?
[Chorus]
  AbmIf I'm gonna sit and wait then I might as Gbwell
  Ask for the hand of the Devil himsEelf
  I thought I heard her Blaugh but it was hard to Gbtell
  AbmSo look into my eyes and see how close I am to Gbcrack
  But they just say hello and never look Eback
  I thought I heard them Btalk but it was hard to Gbcatch
[Bridge]
Light a sAbmmoke, put it out
Search for rooms, out of town
Start aGbgain, cut your hair
You've wondered love, but it's Ehard to care
(I'll Bcare, I'll try to Gbcare)
Choose a reAbmligion, choose a goddamn sport
Go find Gbsomething to eradicate these thoughts
You might not waste Etime, and keep good health
But that's not Bit, there's something Gbelse
[Chorus]
  AbmIf I'm gonna sit and wait then I might as Gbwell
  Ask for the hand of the Devil himsEelf
  I thought I heard her Blaugh but it was hard to Gbtell
  AbmSo look into my eyes and see how close I am to Gbcrack
  But they just say hello and never look Eback
  I thought I heard them Btalk but it was hard to Gbcatch

[Verse]

B Abm Gb

I wash my face with soapy water

Disguise the tears cause you're somebody's daughter

B Gb

And they don't ever wanna see you cry

B Abm Gb

Anxiety's grip is always waiting to take me

It sits in my stomach, I fear it's starting to shape me

B Gb

It's hard to live when you're scared to die

[Chorus]

Abm Gb

If I'm gonna sit and wait then I might as well

Ask for the hand of the Devil himself

B Gb

I thought I heard her laugh but it was hard to tell

Abm Gb

So look into my eyes and see how close I am to crack

But they just say hello and never look back

B Gb

I thought I heard them talk but it was hard to catch

[Verse]

B Abm Gb

Superstition has me out of control

Touch my head and bless my soul

B Gb

I pray it ain't a feeling, but my soul is just old

B Abm Gb

Cause nothing heals misery's fist

No witch's pill, no lover's kiss

B Gb

If life is easy then what is this?

[Chorus]

Abm Gb

If I'm gonna sit and wait then I might as well

Ask for the hand of the Devil himself

B Gb

I thought I heard her laugh but it was hard to tell

Abm Gb

So look into my eyes and see how close I am to crack

But they just say hello and never look back

B Gb

I thought I heard them talk but it was hard to catch

[Bridge]

Abm

Light a smoke, put it out

Search for rooms, out of town

Start again, cut your hair

You've wondered love, but it's hard to care

B Gb

(I'll care, I'll try to care)

Abm

Choose a religion, choose a goddamn sport

Go find something to eradicate these thoughts

You might not waste time, and keep good health

B Gb

But that's not it, there's something else

[Chorus]

Abm Gb

If I'm gonna sit and wait then I might as well

Ask for the hand of the Devil himself

B Gb

I thought I heard her laugh but it was hard to tell

Abm Gb

So look into my eyes and see how close I am to crack

But they just say hello and never look back

B Gb

I thought I heard them talk but it was hard to catch
